globetrotting

they say that “journeys widen the horizon,” i say, the wider it stretches,the more money i lose.hehe.guess i hafta go through the next 2 months on low budget.its ok,learned lotsa things throughout,and that is priceless.

NEW DELHI

[Capital of India]
nice place.suprisingly less hectic than Bangalore.(tribute to the driver whom had successfully avoid traffic jams).we mingled around Connaught Place most of the time.basically, u can get almost everything u need there.New Delhi seems more traditional compared to Bangalore,with more of historical sites and old buildings.i had a non-self explanatory “antique feeling” on the place,somehow.


[Metro]
1st impression: woaaah! Wide, spacious trains and the station somehow resemble Putra LRT Masjid Jamek&KLCC,KL.i loike! and the fee is just 8 rupees.cool.


[Karim’s]
when u travel to the Old Delhi or Hazrat Nizamuddin,this place is a must.omg.i have never tasted kababs which are as good as those that can be found here in my entire life.[exaggerating] hehe.seriously.


[Jama’ Masjid]
one of the oldest mosque found in Old Delhi.unlike any onther mosque,the praying area is wide open and uncovered.the building is made of red sand stone with remarkable old architecture.the specialty of this mosque is that they kept in their possession,a stone in which is engraved the footstep of our dearly beloved Prophet Muhammad’s SAW. besides that,a strand of Prophet Muhammad’s SAW beard and one side of his slipper is also kept here. =),and also old Quran scripts which belongs to Saiyidina Hassan bin Ali RA.


AGRA

[Taj Mahal]
Speechless.


JAIPUR

[Elephant,elephant,elephant]
Location: Amber Fort


SHIMLA

[Where are we again?]
Location: Mall Road


MANALI

[Unexpected]
we,as always,made another surprise! plan to our journey by adding Manali into the picture.”Hey guys,manali is just another 5 hours from Shimla…let’s go!” craaazy ppl.kinda reluctant at first,thinking that we’re not doing it according to plan,more money involve,longer journey hours and etc…but then again,wth,right? heh.so we went.and im glad we did.it turned out to be the most memorable one.=)

[Untouched beauty]
its early spring in Manali.u can still find snow covering half up to 2/3 of the mountains from the peak.its reaaally beautiful.plus,little white&pink flower buds are also seen at the stems of apple trees littering the streets.*huu* the water is unmistakably bluish-green.
serene.-_-


Tribute to Mr.Kamal.
our super cool driver! the stern look on his face somehow gives us a form of protection from any “external disturbances.”hehe.talking bout if looks could kill.really punctual,this guy.well,its more like before time.4 stubborn girls actually obeyed his instructions? he must be really good,huh? we literally woke up at 5.30 in the morning to go skiing in the shivering cold because he said so.craaazy.he shud join the army. ^o^
